White Sculptures

• Photographer
  Sebastian Weiss

The flexible boundary between architecture and sculpture in Calatrava’s unique architectural language is a typical attribute of his work. His buildings in the City of Arts and Sciences appear like vivid corporeal objects, which contain filigree but strictly systematic structures. My intention with this image sequence is to carve out the dynamics of the stylistic vocabulary in his lively ensemble of buildings. I am fascinated by the overlapping of sculptural and architectural elements in Calatrava’s oeuvre, as they seem to complement each other and even merge to a harmonic unity.

Sebastian is a Hamburg based architectural photographer and photo columnist at AD Architectural Digest Germany. He is passionate about concrete aesthetics, and urban shapes in all their detail have been an inspiration to him ever since. His work is also found in the annual edition “Best of Germany 2013” of Architectural Digest Germany as well as in Dezeen, Washington Post, Huffington Post, Aesthetica Magazine, Creative Boom, Architizer, designboom, Fahrenheitº Magazine etc. Website: http://www.le-blanc.com Email: hello@le-blanc.com
